A Wayne County man has been charged with criminal homicide after his wife was shot early Sunday in a home they shared with more than 50 beagles.

Donnalynn Schroeder, 52, of Newfoundland, was flown from her Haags Lane home to Geisinger Community Medical Center, where she died during surgery, according to Lackawanna County Coroner Tim Rowland.

Mrs. Schroeder's husband, Bertrand Schroeder, 59, has been charged with criminal homicide in connection with her death, which occurred about six hours after she was shot at 12:42 a.m., police said.

An autopsy is set for today at the Northeast Forensic Center, Mr. Rowland said.

Following Mr. Schroeder's arrest, troopers seized more than 50 beagles, including many puppies, at the home and sent them to Dessin Animal Shelter in Honesdale, Trooper Kelly Todd said. He added that animal cruelty charges are pending.

Anyone interested in donating for the care of or adopting the beagles may contact the shelter at 253-4037.
